fontWeight affects variable font even with FontVariation #136779

@neko-andrew

Description

@neko-andrew

Is there an existing issue for this?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a fontFamily that uses a variable weight font to a TextStyle.
  2. Add a FontVariation for the weight to TextStyle.
  3. Add a FontWeight of w600 or higher to the TextStyle.
  4. Render Text component using the style.

Expected results

I expect fontWeight to have no effect.

Actual results

The rendered texts is bolder than the weight specified by the FontVariation.

I can confirm this happens on Linux, Android, and Desktop Web.

Code sample

Code sample

lib/main.dart

import 'dart:ui';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    const baseStyle = TextStyle(
      fontFamily: "Noto Sans JP",
      fontSize: 12.0,
    );

    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text("Variable Fonts"),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              ..._fontWeightsOf(
                baseStyle.copyWith(
                    fontVariations: [const FontVariation("wght", 400)]),
              ),
              ..._fontWeightsOf(
                baseStyle.copyWith(
                    fontVariations: [const FontVariation("wght", 900)]),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ));
  }

  List<Widget> _fontWeightsOf(TextStyle style) {
    final fontWeights = [
      FontWeight.w100,
      FontWeight.w200,
      FontWeight.w300,
      FontWeight.w400,
      FontWeight.w500,
      FontWeight.w600,
      FontWeight.w700,
      FontWeight.w800,
      FontWeight.w900,
    ];

    return fontWeights.map((weight) {
      final newStyle = style.copyWith(fontWeight: weight);
      return Text("$newStyle with ${newStyle.fontVariations}", style: newStyle);
    }).toList();
  }
}
